Disagree Snake. Jumps on the footy and lays dead. No attempt. That’s a free every day of the week.
The Crows played for the free and rightly so weren’t given one. But that doesn’t mean they get penalised for the blatant obvious.
I have a real problem with umpires determining games. Yes, there's a valid case that a free could have been paid, although if you watch in real time, it wasn't long before he was buried after pulling it in. But, one of the few things I like about current umpiring is that they customarily are reluctant to pay one at the death that will decide the game. After all, both teams have had their chances to wrap it up earlier - if they were good enough. I understand that it is tough umpiring overall, and they want to avoid paying these last moment frees because they will be damned either way.
It was a really close game but, looking at the match stats, would have been a bit of a cheat if the Bummers lost it at the very end. They won the stats that matter IMO, plus kicked 3 goals in behinds, double the Crows. Slightly more frees 22/18 but they won key stats like Ds, i50s, Cls and stoppages (just), CPs, UPs, led on the scoreboard for over 3/4s of the game.
